The Sky is the Limit

I've found him! I've finally found the real Roy Harper! Took me long enough it's been two long, hard, depressing years. As I hold the real deal in my hands I wonder what do I do with him now. What do I do with my life now? I press the intercom in my ear.

"Found him" I tell Batman. And I carry Roy on my back. I have to say I was really surprised to find out the real Roy was missing an arm. How was he going to be Speedy again? Using a prosthetic arm? I don't think so I mean us archers hate those things. It's not real and when we hold that bow and arrow in our hands it just makes everything feel so fake. So surreal like me dating Wally. I mean it was real but it was just so fake. I loved Wally and Wally would tell himself a million times that he loved me back but when he said it, it didn't feel like he really loved me. It felt like he was putting on a show to make everyone including me think he loved me and that we were a couple that were going somewhere. That's why I left him behind even though I still love him like crazy I couldn't let him keep pretending anymore I had to do what I told Robin to do and that was to let him go. Ya I'm sad that I have nothing to go back to after all of this especially since I know for a fact that Robin took the opportunity at getting Wally back as soon as I left. At least I know Wally's happy now with someone he actually loves. I was always jealous of Robin and always will be. When I first met the two Wally and Robin were already best friends and they were happy to meet a guy like me. Immediately I was attracted to Wally but he was always at Robin's side even on missions. They both did this disappearing act on me and Kaldur and got to the action before we did and they were always together. Being excluded by the two Kaldur and I eventually became friends. But I didn't want to be Kaldur's friend I wanted to be Wally's friend and then later become way more than that. But as long as Robin had breath inside of him there was no way that could happen. After a year of working with the two I finally realized something. Robin was touching Wally more. And he even started asking for 'bro hugs' before Wally or himself had to leave when their mentors came for them. He even started walking closer to Wally and he looked nervous when they talked it was obvious Robin had finally fallen for Wally. Great! Now I was even more jealous of the little kid because, who was Wally going to date out of the two of us? Robin! It was probably around that time Robin showed his true self to Wally because when Batman came to get Robin the two of them would go together and Robin would have the biggest smile ever that his new crush was going to his house with him. Of course I got even more jealous. I didn't have a secret ID to hide from anyone so telling Wally any of my secrets was out the window I wasn't as close to him as I wanted to be. He'd say we're good friends and I'd agree with him but we weren't best friends or really close friends like him and Robin were. And I was just so jealous. Then came the cursed day when I found out they were dating. I know I acted all high and mighty and unaffected but that really hurt. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard it come from Robin's mouth and Wally stood there in agreement. I wanted to run out of that room and just break down but Artemis made eye contact with me and I had to put on my 'cocky Roy' act and pretend unaffected by the news. I went up to Conner money in hand and my heart hurting inside my chest. When my brain thought of something brilliant something that I can get away with to ease the pain just a little bit. A new bet! And Robin heard it and actually agreed with it! Of course I was happy that the Boy Wonder was looking forward to letting me kiss his new boyfriend and so I did. And when Wally kissed me back on that Monday at 10:35 outside of his school's locker room and the wind whirled all around us. It felt so perfect to me but obviously it was just my head playing tricks with me. Because Wally and I were never meant to be and I shouldn't have been so blind to see that. I went home with a crazy heart ache and tear covered eyes and they wouldn't stop producing the tears as my heart ached. I want Wally! I wanted Wally I had Wally and then I let him go back to Robin back to where he belonged. But all I want to do right now is see his happy face and bright green eyes. Oh so I thought.

"Thanks Roy, we'll take it from here." Batman says. I look around to find myself in the cave.

"Right I'll leave him to you." I tell him I enter the hallway going for the exit when I hear voices.

"They're coming back from their honeymoon tomorrow aren't they?" Megan asks.

"They should be." Kaldur says.

"We should throw them a party!" Megan shouts. I follow the voices that are coming from the living room and stand in the room's entrance.

"I think they've had enough parties from us." Artemis sighs sitting on the couch. I wonder who had a honeymoon, Green Arrow and Black Canary? No, I would have been invited. I can't really think of anyone else besides them. I move into the living room staring at the now twenty or twenty one year's old superheroes.

"Long time no see." I tell them. Everyone's eyes turn to look at where my voice is coming from and give me a surprised look.

"Oh Roy! When did you get here?" Artemis says nervously.

"Uh a while back. Someone's coming back from their honeymoon?" I ask curiously.

"Oh ya right we were talking about that weren't we." Megan says avoiding my eyes. Why are they acting so weird around me?

"I think I'm tired." Conner says faking a yawn.

"Perhaps we should just tell him."Kaldur says gesturing a hand towards me.

"Tell me what?" I ask him.

"Well I'm not breaking it to him. He's fully armed and his aims spot on even if you run." Artemis says getting up from the couch.

"Why would I attack you guys with my arrows?" I ask them not getting what's going on. Kaldur walks up to me putting a firm hand on my shoulder.

"Wally and Robin got married recently." Kaldur tells me. I have to fight really hard to keep my eyes from opening wider or popping out of my head. You expected this Roy you knew this would happen. A voice in my head tells me. Expecting it? Ya. But hearing that it would actually happen? No! At least not so soon not while I was gone not yet. At least until I was completely over Wally!

"Oh finally the two of them sealed the deal." I force a smile on my face looking at everyone. I hear Artemis let out a deep sigh.

"This is going way better than expected." She smiles.

"Well ya. Come on guys you act like you don't even know me." I tell them.

"It's because we know you that's why we're worried." Kaldur says "Roy are you really okay with this?" He asks

"Of course I am. It's been two years now of course I'm completely over Wally." I lie to them.

"We're always here if you need someone to talk to or at least I am." Kaldur assures me.

"Ya I'm really okay. Anyway I haven't slept for days and it would be nice if I went home." I tell them and without waiting to hear anybody's good bye I leave. I get into my car and I'm only a mile or two away from the cave when I have to pull over and throw up. The tears are on a full on rage as they pour out of my eyes. Yes, I've never been so jealous of a person in my life besides Robin.


Robin

We're back from our honeymoon and I really wouldn't mind another week long vacation with Wally. Everything was so romantic and Wally must have pulled every cliché move from the book. I look around our new house kind of liking the green color that cover the walls.

"Ha! Look how strong I am." Wally says carrying all of our suitcases in at once. I roll my eyes at him with a smile and kiss my husband. I move back from him so he can put the suitcases down.

"Well here we are." I tell him spreading my arms out as I look around the house.

"It's so empty." Wally says looking around the place.

"That's because we just moved in!" I tell him slightly hitting him.

"But it's perfect because I'm here with you." He says pulling me in for another kiss.

"Stop watching romance movies." I laugh at him. He releases me and has a look around the house.

"Were we supposed to go furniture shopping before or after the honeymoon?" He asks.

"Most people go before. But I happened to marry you." I tell him.

"Ah I guess we're sleeping on the floor today then." He says walking back over to me.

"No, you're sleeping on the floor." I tell him.

"And where will you sleep?" He asks with a frown as if I'm planning on sleeping in someone's house.

"On you." I smile at him and he smiles back as we share another kiss.

The next day we decide to go furniture shopping with Megan as she helps us pick things that match but Megan brought Artemis along and I really think that's a stupid idea.

"You guys are gay why do you need help picking out furniture?" Artemis asks.

"Are you stereotyping us?" Wally asks elbowing her.

"I'm just saying gay guys have style." Artemis rolls her eyes pushing Wally a little and they break out in this childish fight.

"What kind of look are you two looking for?" Megan asks me.

"Ah anything that can match our pale green living room." I tell her for now. We're going to paint our bedroom but the color is undecided.

"We're thinking along the lines of flat screen TV and I want it be big as Conner." Wally says slowing down his fight with Artemis.

"Like you can afford it." Artemis says.

"Ah we can! Batman's wedding gift was a hefty amount of cash." Wally tells her.

"Oh Wally we saw-." Megan starts to say but Artemis covers her mouth. Wally and I look at them bemused.

"Who did you guys see?" I ask them.

"A turtle!" Artemis yells "ya and the turtle was dying and we thought oh! We should tell Wally so he can fix this guy up!"

"Artemis I want to be a surgical oncologist, not a veterinarian." Wally tells her shaking his head at her.

"Same thing!" She yells

"Are you saying that a surgeon who treats cancer patients and a doctor that treats animals are the same thing?" He asks her.

"Uh animals can get cancer too!" Megan chirps in.

"You guys are ridiculous. Plus I'm still in college I wouldn't know a thing I'm doing." He sighs.

"Let's just hurry up and find you guys some furniture so you don't have to sleep on the floor for another night." Artemis says

"Good idea." Wally says rubbing his back.

"Are you okay?" I ask Wally and I start to massage his shoulders.

"Just not feeling the aster." He tells me and I smile at him for using a term I haven't used in a while.

A week flew by and I still can't believe it's already been a week since we moved into this house. With Wally as my husband it's like my long term dream came true and it did!

"Dick we're out of meat!" Wally calls from the fridge.

"You mean all the food we have." I tell him reading a book.

"Ya and that too." He says coming to sit next to me.

"Want to go grocery shopping together?" I ask him.

"Yes! Let's go right now!" He tells me pulling me up from the couch. We go to the nearest store and Wally's already picking things up one by one.

"So you're going back to school tomorrow?" I ask Wally.

"Yep if I miss another day I can kiss my graduation good bye."

"Oh you're graduating this year." I tell him excited.

"In three months." He tells me throwing in two more items. "Since you graduated from high school. Why don't you start college?" He asks me.

"Hmm now that I'm Nightwing I should really pay attention on the new team that the Justice League brought in." I tell him.

"So you're going to be in the superhero gig all your life?" He asks.

"Yes, and you're going to join me when you graduate." I tell him

"Right that agreement." He says looking away.

"What? Are you backing out on me?" I ask him

"No it's just that med school isn't going to be a walk in the park." He says finally getting hold of my hand.

"Don't worry I'll help you Wally, and you don't have to be a full time superhero."

"Right. . ." He sighs. That's when I see him. It was like your worst nightmare coming to life. His orange-red hair seemed to notice me first and then he turns around completely making my suspicion real. Standing before me was none other than Roy Harper himself!


And its finally up! Here's what I have planned for this review/author collaboration. I have written 6 chapters for this story to start it off and get everyone including myself into the story. After the 6th chapter (it may be less) I will start adding in new suggestions some I've already added and thank you for them and others I will be welcoming anytime between now and until the story is over. After chapter 6 everything will be based on what you guys want to see happen and no more of my ideas. Thank you and I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!
